Step-by-Step Tutorial: Modulating Parameters with Meta Knob

1. Understanding Initial Settings:

   • Ensure the metan knob is set to zero.
   • Set the cutoff to maximum.

2. Exploring Meta Knob Functionality:

   • Turn the metan knob up to see the cutoff increase.
   • Meta knob allows modulation of multiple parameters simultaneously.
   • Define a set range for modulation using the metan knob.

3. Adjusting Modulation Range:

   • The range of modulation is from -60 to +60.
   • Adjust the modulation range based on your preference for each parameter.

4. Naming and Cross Modulating:

   • Name the metan knob for easier identification.
   • Cross modulate by assigning a source to the metan knob.

5. Polarity Options:

   • Choose between unipolar positive, unipolar negative, and bipolar options.
   • Experiment with different polarities to control modulation direction.

6. Applying Polarity in Modulation:

   • Adjust the metan knob to modulate parameters based on the selected polarity.

7. Applying Bipolar Modulation:

   • Utilize bipolar modulation for more balanced modulation effects.

8. Fine-Tuning Modulation:

   • Adjust modulation depth and direction for precise control over parameters.

9. Utilizing Band Pass Filter:

   • Apply modulation to band pass filter for specific frequency effects.
   • Control the modulation depth to achieve desired results.

10. Quantization and Damping:

    • Use quantize and damping functions for controlled modulation effects.
    • Adjust resonance and modulation depth for desired sound.

11. Exploring Glide Function:

    • Experiment with glide function for smooth transitions between notes.
    • Adjust glide settings to control note transitions effectively.

12. Cross Feedback and Division:

    • Utilize cross feedback and division for unique modulation effects.
    • Adjust settings to control modulation intensity and direction.

13. Experimenting with Modulation:

    • Explore different modulation settings to create dynamic and evolving sounds.
    • Combine modulation techniques for complex and interesting soundscapes.

By following these steps, you can effectively utilize the meta knob and explore various modulation possibilities in your synthesizer to enhance your sound design skills.
